Product Description
Donall MacAmhlaigh kept a diary as he worked the sites, danced in Irish halls, drank in Irish pubs and lived the life of the roving Irish navvy. This vivid picture of an Irish navvy's life in England in the 1950s mirrors that of an entire generation who left Ireland without education or hope.
A life of hard , often dangerous work for low pay. Mac Amhlaigh spent most of his time with men from the Conamara gaeltacht - Rosmuc, Carna and Leitir Mealláin.
Translated from the Irish by Valentin Iremonger - originally published as Dialann Deoraí . this edition republished 2003, first published as Gaeilge in1 965.
Some light bumps to the front cover, otherwise unmarked.
